GSR and oil consumption???
I recently got a 99 GSR engine swapped in my 99 civic. Yesterday is the first day I checked the oil level since I got the swap done. It was right at the first dot/hole on the dipstick. Is losing oil like that normal for a B18C1? I take it to VTEC everytime I switch gears and probably take it to redline 10 or less times a day. There is no smoke whatsoever even when I take it to redline. The engine has 67,000 miles on it. I looked at everything externally that I could and did not see any oil leaks, I have no CEL's and the car is still strong. What could it be?

From another forum:
VTEC burns oil. It goes to a higher pressure and temp in VTEC...so if you're in VTEC a lot, that's where your oil goes.
